45 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Goleta

“Great people..nice beer 🍺“

“Knowledgeable staff, freshest fish, affordable prices. The location is also fun!“

“We are proud members of Samsara and love it so much! It’s fun that they have tasting rooms both here at home in Goleta and also in Los Olivos if we want to take a little jaunt into the valley. The wine is exceptional, especially the pinots. The folks at Samsara are such lovely people - Julie, Jack and Genevieve are especially kind and we love seeing them! The programming at the Goleta location is great (bands come to play, etc). Plus, there is a woman at the LO location who brings her guitar and plays/sings! What’s not to love about a free concert?!

The value is incredible. We have gifted membership to our parents in NYC and they also loved it.

Oh, and they’re super dog friendly! Our dog Pismo loves to hang out there, and everyone is so kind about his antics.“

“I can't even say I have a favorite. It's all good. When you bring home a warm loaf, all is well with the world.“

“Great place to stop, relax and have a bite to eat. Enjoy 😎“

“Hi thank you so much so much“

“Your local quality Beer Hall 5 stars!“

“Great food didn’t expect to get such good food out here, I’m from Los Angeles doing a show out here and was hesitant to eat here but it was the best decision ever.“

“Family owned taste of New Orleans Restaurant. From Catfish Po-boys to King cakes. What a great find for when you want some great Cajun food. Run by a mother father and daughter trio. Was told they do live music and we're even having a Mardi Gras celebration. We ordered takeout and I will say after eating our meal this will definitely become one of our go-to restaurants.“

“As a member of The Art The Art Farmers band, I wanted to thank you for having us play music on your outdoor stage. The beer, food and live music make for a great Sunday afternoon. The audience was really good too… I think we will be getting new fans in the SB area.“

“Not a super big fan of beer so didn’t have many choices. However, I have many friends who enjoy the drinks here. I tried the Michelada and it was NOT good. They do have a great Mexican food truck that we love! They have vegan options which is a plus! Monday trivia is really fun!“

“Everybody loves a raspberry filled donut, when it’s the real thing inside! Anna’s Bakery is the place to get the real thing.“

“Decided to stop into Crushcakes for just coffee and ended up purchasing 30 assorted cupcakes for a party! The cupcakes were extremely popular and made the birthday special.

Thank you Ash for the recommendations. Will definitely be returning.“

“Love this place, the staff is nice, so well as all of the regulars, as this is a locals spot. The food and drinks are great as well.“

“I had the green tea ice cream and it was awesome! :)“

“Local dive bar vibe that I always have a good time at.

Servers are friendly and they get the drinks out fast.

Bar tables, dim lighting, music, darts, and decent sticks.

Check them out when in the area.“

“What a genuinely AMAZING experience. The service was top notch, timely, welcoming and HOLY COW was the food good. We had the D-Dawg, slice of Hawaiian, and a slice of Combo pizza. Great portion size, plenty of toppings, and all freshly made. Plus they're open late for those late-night cravings. Definitely give them a go! 10/10“

“Timbers Roadhouse is my go to in Goleta. I do love a Captain Fatty.“

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.“

“Great coffee and a fun venue.“

“Always a delight! Went last minute after driving all day, seated at the bar with Thiago and had a amazing meal and beautiful drinks. I have nightshade allergies and I was still able to get the Salmon on ceder with tons of flavor! Thank you for always taking care of us!“

“Lunch at Natural Café was exactly what we needed!

We arrived very hungry and left completely satisfied. The menu offers an impressive variety of fresh, healthy dishes, and everything sounded so delicious that choosing what to order was the hardest part. There are so many mouthwatering options that you’ll find yourself wanting to try them all.

After placing our order, we barely had time to choose a table before our food arrived. Everything was served fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I ordered the salmon with pesto accompanied by an arugula salad, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals as well, including the fish tacos, vegetarian burrito, and roasted chicken breast with marinara pasta.

The restaurant itself is bright, spacious, and comfortably air-conditioned, with plenty of natural light and greenery both inside and outside. The outdoor seating area is thoughtfully equipped with numerous umbrellas, providing welcome shade and comfort on sunny days.

Natural Café is a wonderful place to enjoy fresh, wholesome food in a relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Great service and reasonable prices. The food was fantastic!!“

“This place is awesome. All the Dune's are awesome really. Can't go wrong at any of them. In my experience, this Dune has the most "interpersonal" customer service. For example, they have consistently asked about my day, etc., or made small talk that goes a bit beyond the basic kindness you'd get at any of the other Dune's. Basic kindness, as in, they are really friendly there, either way, during your transaction, but this Dune seems to do a little extra with customer interactions. The coffee (what I usually order; e.g. lattes) are excellent.“

“Had a great time catching up with friends!“

“My husband got the large size dragon (pitaya) bowl and we were pleasantly surprised at how large it was. I got the 3 berry oatmeal bowl and it was very tasty and filling. We both subbed honey for agave with no problem. Will definitely be going back!“

“Elubia’s Kitchen is a great, authentic Guatemalan spot in Isla Vista. It’s truly a hidden gem. I had the pupusas and they were excellent. Fresh and served the right way with incredible salsa.
They also have really good combo options. You can tell the food is made with care and tradition. I will definitely be ordering some of their pickup catering options next time we have a big gathering at home - the prices are very reasonable.
The best part is the family behind it. They are genuinely kind people, and that comes through in the experience. Elubia has created something truly amazing! Definitely worth stopping by.“

“The coffee is very good although sometimes it is not as hot as I would like. The atmosphere is decent, sometimes you get people having a loud zoom meeting with no headphones on which isn't really dune's fault but it can be obnoxious. Judging on flavor alone it's probably my favorite coffee around.“

“What a sweet place. The gentleman who took our order was also the Chef and I think also the owner, what a sweetheart man! We got the Molcajete, which was absolutely delicious served with yummy homemade tortillas. Highly recommend yall. ✨“

“Who can go wrong with Kyle?“

“Despite my last not so great visit in March I stopped in with some friends to give it another try. Food was fresh and delicious, service was fantastic. Happy surprise after the horrible service in March! Thank you!“

“Busiest donut shop in the world ..full of college kids. I mean packed but very quiet. Very well behaved..to the owner probably best quality donuts ive ever tasted ! Not doughy and rubbery or greasy ..bursting with flavor ! I had the raised top shelf and the banana cream pie. Ate it the next afternoon. Tasted like just made unreal Flavor !!“

“Such a chill place to get coffee (best in town) and work. Amazing food and even more amazing people ❤️“

“Drinks are great! The boba is garbage: it ain’t chewy enough, it’s nearly flavoreless, and it feels like you’re swallowing/drinking jelly. These black balls ain’t it and believe me I’ve had my fairshare of black balls before.

Black balls tangent aside, the drinks are solid although price gouged. I don’t blame them though ‘cause have you seen the surrounding real estate? You ain’t surviving selling $5 boba drinks.

Anywho this could easily be a 5-star place if they could get the texture of the boba right. Perchance.“

“They catered my granddaughters graduation dinner and they were excellent. Food was perfectly seasoned and cooked, portions were generous and they fed a group of over 60 guests just fine, my favorites were their Tri tip and salsas. We will use them again!“

“I came here during the weekday, and it was empty. I felt awkward but good at the same time since it was quiet. It was yummy, should’ve gotten more ramen! Next time I’ll order more beef and customize it since I didn’t like some of the items in my pot 😭. But overall would come again and it was good!“

“Great food here for a reasonable price. Portions are great sized.“

“Iced, oat milk matcha is delicious! And the goats on Date sourdough toast hits the spot! Sweet and savory with just the right about of kick.“

“The Grill on the Alley is Hands down, our favorite Beverly Hills Go-To! Classic, Old school fantastic service, food, ambiance and menu. It's our first choice for taking out of town guests. Five Stars all the way. The Grill sets the standard for every other eatery. There are others... innovative chefs, beautiful design. But if you want classic BH top drawer, the Grill on the Alley never misses. II recommend the Liver and onions, The chicken pot pie, specials like the Seabass last night are outstanding. Brick Chicken, Lamb Chops, and the best Martini's!! Love this place forever and always.“

“This place is probably the healthiest spot to eat in Isla Vista & it’s bomb! Consistently craving it. The drinks are great too. Good quality food and lots of flavor - it’s basically a Mediterranean chipotle. The Moroccan hot sauce is HOT but delish. They just lowered their prices too. So worth“

“Great Service and the best Thai in Santa Barbara!“

“Went to this place back to back in a row while we’re visiting Goleta. Since we had hotel credit for American food, might as well splurge on something different within the Hotel vicinity.

Everything was delicious. We had Paneer Puri for the first time and it was great. The servers we had for both days are polite, helpful and friendly. Easy to park around the area and free. Great experience overall.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“We live in the neighborhood closest to this Lighthouse location and the baristas here are just the best. I bring my kids and dog all the time to have breakfast on the patio and they are so sweet. The cucumber toast and breakfast sandwiches are excellent and my young kids get to practice putting their order in by themselves with patient, kind baristas.“

“Staff was kind and clearly loved their business. The food was super tasty and the portions were hugeeee. We got the udon noodles and only were able to eat half the dish so I also get a tasty treat tomorrow. The atmosphere was awesome and the service was insanely quick especially for a busy day. Would recommend I will definitely be coming back.“
